200,000 doses of Moderna vaccine arrive in Serbia
200,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine, donated to Serbia by Poland, arrived in Torlak Institute. This is the first time that the Moderna vaccine has arrived in Serbia.
With the arrival of the Moderna vaccine, five vaccines will be available to citizens in Serbia.
„I hope that in the next few days, after the approval by the Medicines and Medical Devices Agency of Serbia (ALIMS) and after the expert-methodological instructions of the Batut Institute of Public Health, the citizens of Serbia will be able to receive this, primarily effective, and more importantly safe vaccine which will protect thousands of lives of Serbian citizens,“ said State Secretary of the Ministry of Health, Mirsad Djerlek.
Moderna is an mRNA vaccine, which is based on information ribonucleic acid (RNA). The Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine also works on this principle.
Vaccines from the US-German company Pfizer/BioNTech, Russian Sputnik V, Chinese Sinopharm and British Astra Zeneca are available in Serbia.
